    I love this place. I've been going here since I was little and nothing has changed! Came here around 11:30am and it wasn't as busy but as soon as we ordered, a rush of people came in but our order was completed quickly. I got the torta asada, which I usually get and it definitely hit the spot! Definitely the best tasting torta ever! The bread was toasted to perfection with a perfectly seasoned asada. It also came with onions and jalapeños. I also got the flan and it was the perfect dessert for my lunch! Over all, the service and quality has not changed and I'm glad this restaurant/bakery is still around! Lots of seats for everyone to visit!

    When I lived in Salinas I would come here often. Its been a few years since I have been here, I was in town and and HANGRY so I thought I would stop by on my way back to the Bay. Nothing has changed (thankfully) as you walk in to your left is the bakery area, traditional hand made mexican bread (pan dulce) everything you can imagine is prepared daily and baked. The smell of the FRESH pan dulce makes you want to order everything!! As you walk in further you see the Burrito station! Staff is there to greet you and make your burrito wishes come true LOL. They also make tacos and offer other foods as well. Everything is very authentic and fresh. There is a large seating area to sit and enjoy your pan dulce with some coffee or eat your burrito. They also sell cakes here as well. The venue is very clean, well staffed and well stocked. Nice place for a quick bite or for sweet tooth cravings

    Nasty cocido to much fat. Not worth it. I like their other food items. But I'm gonna try elsewhere for now.

    The Mexican bread was delicious, the service was excellent, the ambience is OK. The prices are a little steep, though.

    Don't let the grilled windows and doors throw you off--this place is a genuine diamond in the rough…read moretucked away on a bustling Salinas street. Once you step inside, the vibe shifts instantly into a perfectly clean, well-organized Mexican eatery that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've been let in on a local secret. The food is quite frankly phenomenal. We're talking enchiladas cooked to perfection, delicious tortillas, quesadillas boasting that glorious, milky-stretchy cheese we all dream about, and bold salsas that bring just enough zing to make you reach for your napkin (and maybe a glass of water). Even the staples like refried beans and rice were flawless, leaving us with absolutely nothing to fault. If you're looking for a meal with enough soul and spice to make you sweat, this is a must-visit!

    8.75/10 Been coming…read morehere since I was a kid! This spot never disappoints and still has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Salinas. Chilaquiles 9/10 Made perfectly, spicy, and full of flavor. The beans are always great soft with cheese and super comforting. Only bummer was the eggs ordered 3 sunny side up but no runny yolk. Still amazing overall. Chicken Enchiladas 8.5/10 Really good, would definitely order again. The sauce and chicken were on point, tons of flavor. Just wish it had a little more texture everything was a bit soft, maybe some veggies or a little crisp on the tortilla. Still super nostalgic and tasty. Service was quick and friendly like always. The vibe hasn't changed since I was a kid super nostalgic, and I love that.

    If you know me, you know I LOVE Mexican food. I read an article about this restaurant with rave…read morereviews and decided this is where I wanted to go on Mother's Day. Drove two hours from the Bay Area to get there and it was totally with the trip. My son got the mole negro and I got the chile verde. Everything on both plates was authentic, delicious, and AMAZING. My son tried my chile verde and said it was the best he's ever tasted and I agreed. They were super busy because it was Mother's Day, but we were seated after a short wait and our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Several times during our meal someone checked to see if we needed anything. Not going to lie, we were a bit intimidated when we pulled up as there were no other non-Hispanic people in the large crowd outside waiting to be seated. I told my son that meant the food was definitely going to be good, but I was worried about how we would be received considering the political climate these days, but it wasn't an issue. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu.

    Culturas in Salinas was my first time trying Oaxacan cuisine, and it was a great experience…read moreoverall. The place was packed, which is always a good sign, yet the service was still excellent, very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I ordered the tlacoyos with chicken Milanesa, and they were absolutely delicious. The chicken Milanesa was perfectly cooked, the queso fresco added great flavor, and the chile sauce had a nice kick without being overwhelming. I also tried the tamale Oaxaqueño, which was very flavorful with shredded chicken, a rich black chile sauce, and soft masa. It was much spicier than I expected, and unfortunately too spicy for me to finish, but you can tell it was made with authentic flavors. The tostadita Oaxaqueña was another tasty treat, fully loaded, fresh, and delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor. I also had the atole, which was warm, comforting, and the perfect drink to balance the meal. Overall, Culturas gave me a memorable first introduction to Oaxacan food. If you enjoy bold, authentic flavors and don't mind some heat, it's definitely worth trying.
